One in 105mph winds where travel is not advised and it wasn't even certain the match would go ahead and as a result had to delay kick off.

All for banter but lets keep it sensible.

And thats from someone who couldnt give a toss about crowds.

No idea.

Like I said, couldn't give a toss about crowds. Don't see what difference it makes.

However on this occasion if it is to be discussed then to ignore the obvious is just silly.

You can't blame the wind , those tickets have been on sale weeks and nobody knew about the weather until 2/3 days ago at the earliest :lol:

Ignore the obvious,I'm assuming you mean the weather?,come on roathie be honest,it's f**k all to do with the weather it's just shit support,everyone knows away tickets get sold a few weeks before the game

Just a thought,
But maybee u should take a look at the news or even put your head out the window.
Biggest storms and floods for 250 years.
The ref had a inspection at 6.20.
So come on stop grasping at anything u can ffs.
I know your desperate for somthing but keep it real.

Re: Swansea fans say they have bigger attendances? look at t

Wed Feb 12, 2014 8:57 pm

I never bought my tickets before hand. Ever.

Our away support is very good. Even without the weather im sure you would have the bigger following, im just pointing out the obvious.

Do you have a pic from our away game of our debut Prem season?

Like has been said away tickets are sold weeks in advance,unless of course you did sell over 2,000 and 1,500 have been stranded :lol:

Re: Swansea fans say they have bigger attendances? look at t

500 tickets sold plus could pay on the day.
But how many do u think looked at the weather today and said f**k it.

Bet you the following would be similar if you looked at our maiden premier league season though.

To ignore the weather aspect is just stupid.

Lets be honest here. The majority of fans would have bought their tickets before today so the fact there was a pitch inspection makes no difference at all.

You can use the weather as an excuse but again people generally plan midweek away games beforehand and nobody could have predicted what the weather was going to be a week or so ago.

If youre going to make excuses at least use relevant ones such as Cardiff having a higher standard of living and we therefore have more money to spend on away days than Swansea's peasant supporters.

If you didn't buy your ticket beforehand, did you buy them after the game? :?:

Wed Feb 12, 2014 9:03 pm

Been there done it the last 2 seasons.
This is your first season and you dont take up your away support.
4k empty seats last night :? And the 2k vila fans out sang u.
Your a embarrassing club and fan base who think your somthing but its now sinking in your nothing.
Shame is we wont see your away support the second season let alone the third :wave:

Of course you lose support, the buzz dies down.

Are we having a serious debate here or am i complicit in mindless "haha we are better" regardless of any sense? F its the latter then let me know so I can slowly slip away :thumbup:

Roathie taking a holier than thou approach because the facts don't suit his agenda, what a novelty!

We played Stoke last season too.

From watching highlights and live matches that are on T.V. you dont generate an amazing atmosphere either. Only in the big games. In the Europa you have been dreadful and cant even sell out.

If you are into the odd hobby of attendance comparing then surely the more similar the factors then the more accurate the information you gain... Unless you arent looking for accuracy that is.

Have a look at what we took in our maiden season and then compare it would be my advice.

Valid question dear boy, your words not mine! Totally illogical I think you will agree!
